ZZZ Pity System Explained

Zenless Zone Zero, an urban fantasy RPG, captivates players with its dynamic world, engaging storylines, and exciting combat. Players assume the roles of various characters, each boasting unique skills and personalities, making the gameplay experience rich and diverse.

Much like other HoYoverse titles such as Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, obtaining favored characters in Zenless Zone Zero is a nuanced process. Players must strategize effectively, especially those who prefer a free-to-play approach, to successfully navigate the game's unique pity system and acquire their desired Agents.

Zenless Zone Zero Pity System Overview

Probabilities in the Zenless Zone Zero Stable Channel

There are two primary types of Signal Searches in Zenless Zone Zero: Stable Channels and Exclusive Channels. The Stable Channel acts as the permanent standard banner of the game, featuring consistent agents and W-Engines. Players utilize Master Tapes to initiate searches within this channel.

In the Stable Channel, each pull has a predetermined probability for different ranks, which are outlined as follows:

Rarity Base Rate Guaranteed Rate
S-Rank 0.600% 1.600%
A-Rank 9.400% 14.600%
B-Rank 90% 84%

The hard pity system guarantees players an S-Rank agent or W-Engine within 90 Signal Searches, whereas an A-Rank is assured every 10 pulls. Although there are no specific figures for the soft pity of Zenless Zone Zero, it is presumed to be around 70-80 pulls based on patterns derived from other titles like Honkai Star Rail.

New players receive a 20% discount on their first to fifth Signal Searches, reducing the cost of a 10x pull to eight Master Tapes. Additionally, an S-Rank agent is guaranteed within the first 50 searches.

Probabilities in the Exclusive Channel of Zenless Zone Zero

The Exclusive Channel, featuring time-limited agents and W-Engines, shares a similar base rate for S-Rank pulls at 0.600%. Nonetheless, the channel introduces a unique mechanic: upon achieving an S-Rank pull, there is a 50% chance of it being a limited agent. If this is not the case, the next S-Rank pull will be the limited agent guaranteed.

Here are the key aspects of the Exclusive Channel probabilities:

  • S-Rank base rate remains at 0.600%.
  • Guaranteed S-Rank within 90 Signal Searches.
  • A 50% chance of the S-Rank being a limited agent, if not, the next pull guarantees it.

The W-Engines section within the Exclusive Channel offers improved probabilities. An S-Rank W-Engine is assured within 80 Signal Searches, with a 75% chance of it being the limited W-Engine. If a non-limited W-Engine is pulled, the subsequent guarantee will be the limited one.

Players could initiate searches in the Exclusive Channel using Encrypted Master Tapes. Each search costs 160 Tapes.

Probabilities in the Exclusive Channel of Zenless Zone Zero

The Bangboo Channel provides another unique feature in Zenless Zone Zero, distinguishing itself with the highest probability among all permanent channels. Here, the chance to pull an S-Rank item is set at 1%, with a guarantee of achieving one within 80 Signal Searches.

Details for the Bangboo Channel probabilities:

  • S-Rank base rate: 1%
  • Guaranteed S-Rank within 80 searches
  • Players can select one of eight S-Rank Bangboo guaranteed within 80 searches.

Bopoon, the currency for searches in this channel, can be obtained through various means such as Hollow Zero, Bangbuck Exchange, and the New Eridu City Fund.

The mechanics of these channels ensure that players experience a fair but engaging method to acquire desired in-game agents and W-Engines, whether they are standard items or time-limited exclusives.
